Freycinet Riesling 2014

"The potency of these wines to develop gracefully over time is a feature, as is their complexity with maturity. World class - combines floral, stone fruit and citrus flavours." Robert Geddes, Master of Wine, Author, Australian Wine VintagesFreycinet is quite a remarkable winery. Hit after hit. This has body and complexity but it's the length through the finish that really impresses. It tastes of green herbs, red apples, grapefruit and spice and even in its youthit keeps you dodging and weaving to catch all that's going on. 94 points Winefront.com.au

Nick O'Leary Pyrenees Shiraz 2012

Deep, vivid, colour; a no-holds-barred full-bodied shiraz with black fruits, licorice and some pepper; tannins and oak are built to size for the fruit, and the palate consequently has considerable length. 94 points James HallidaySmells fantastic. Garrigue, dark berry fruits, black plums. Sweet, but tinged with potent spice, pepper, wet slate and port-soaked tobacco. Dense, but with a perfumey lift. There's a slinkiness to texture even if the wine offers a lip-smacking, solid mouthful of rich, dark fruit. Potent, but chewy with crisp-feeling tannins, succulent acidity and a big sprinkle of peppery spice. Tannins for days, but fruit meshed through and through. Wonderful stuff. 94 points Winefront.com.au

Nick O'Leary Shiraz 2013

Winner of the 2014 Stodart Trophy

Trophy - Best Shiraz of Show - Royal Queensland 2014 Trophy - Best Wine of Show - Royal Queensland 2014

In the groove. Sultry wine this. Sexed up with pretty aromatics of brambly black berry fruit, a squish of apricot nectar, wafts of floral things. ..... The flow is cool, a touch reserved even, and counters any sweetness with even, freshness of acid and tannin. Cedary mouth-pucker to close. This is great cool climate shiraz right here. 93+ Points Winefront.com.au

Nick O'Leary Canberra Riesling 2014

Ripping release. Lime, ginger, dash of pepper, show in big vibrant hit of citrussy fruit scents. It’s racy, ultra lean and tight to taste, but a mouthwatering succulence pulls the wine out of austerity and the light chalky buzz through the finish sets the wine to a higher class. It’s delicious. There’s more citrus, more green apple crispness and a fine etching of sherbetty acidity. Refreshing to the max, with panache. 94 points Winefront.com.au "

The Lane Block 1 Chardonnay 2013

Oak is part of the seduction and there’s nothing wrong with that. This offers texture, flavour and length at a more than reasonable price. It tastes of melon, lactose, cream and white peach, and is both seductive and satisfying. 92 points Campbell Mattinson Winefront.com.au

The Lane Block 5 Shiraz 2013

This is another excellent example. It’s a savoury wine first and foremost, with smoke, twigs and generally reductive notes dominating the initial impression, but cherry-plum fruit comes bounding in, intent on give the party a kick along. Firm, drying tannin is here in abundance too; it won’t be a short-lived wine. It will though please a lot of cool climate shiraz drinkers. 93+ Points Campbell Mattinson Winefront.com.au"

Woodlands Margaret Cabernet 2012

..... It has the full array of cassis, redcurrant, olive and earth expected of this invariably distinguished wine; just let the tannins relax for a year or two. 95 points James HallidayLovely aromatics here – seaweed, violets, sweet rubbed spearmint with chocolate, blackberry and cedar/pencil oak in support. Medium to full bodied, ample red and black fruits, chocolate, nuts and tobacco, spiced oak – seductive style, though not bold or too showy – composed and impeccably balanced. Fine grained tannin draws the finish long. Classic Cabernet. 94 points Winefront.com.au"

Tyrrells Hunter Valley Shiraz 2013

Nice wine this – feels like essence of Hunter Valley Shiraz. Medium bodied with savoury tannins drawling through the wine. Offers up red fruits, dustiness but not too much, and light, washy acidity keeps things fresh. It might lack some stuffing but it’s pitch-perfect as an example of Hunter and drinkability with savouriness. Crunch and chew in the finish lends a hand. Better than you think. 91 points Winefront.com.au

Tyrrells Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2014

Peach, mixed citrus, gentle vanilla and cedar oak and some wheatgerm.Medium bodied, juicy fruit, but with some restraint, limey acidity offset with a dab of cream and almond. Good length. Acid freshens the aftertaste, but does not twang. This is nicely done: meets the modern and traditional schools of Hunter Chardonnay in the middle playground. 90 points Winefront.com.au"

Tyrrells Hunter Valley Semillon 2014

Semillon fruit was hand selected from a number of our premium vineyards. The nose is clean with a hint of lemon richness, the palate continues with fresh citrus and concentrated grapefruit flavours. The finish is pleasing with a balance of fruit and soft acid. A great match to any shellfish. A wine for all occasions lending itself perfectly to seafood dishes. Excellent drinking upon release and will develop in complexity with short term bottle age.

This is another excellent example. It’s a savoury wine first and foremost, with smoke, twigs and generally reductive notes dominating the initial impression, but cherry-plum fruit comes bounding in, intent on give the party a kick along. Firm, drying tannin is here in abundance too; it won’t be a short-lived wine. It will though please a lot of cool climate shiraz drinkers. 93+ Points Campbell Mattinson Winefront.com.au"

Deep purple with blue hues. Aromas of spice and forest floor followed by bitter chocolate and white pepper precede intense spice and black fruits. Restrained on the palate at first but with airing rich intense fruit flavours are framed by great structure. Have it with...A porterhouse steak and pepper sauce.

Wow. Smoke and struck match, white flower, aniseed and white fleshed fruit, gentle oak spice. A pretty wild ride but the palate is pitch perfect and powerful with a light gloss of honeycomb and almond, tight mineral acid, grapefruit, lime and a long flinty saline finish. Pretty funky and smoky, but so well defined and so good to drink: the fruit matches the winemaking work. Such personality. Superb. Wow. Drink: 2015 - 2023 96 points

Deep dark red, tending towards magenta at the meniscus. Lovely notes of warmed currants, cocoa dust, lavender, scorched earth and bay leaf. Lovely energy and density across the palate.Deep, dense crimson-purple; flooded with the swirls of cassis and dark chocolate/choc-mint flavours of McLaren Vale, alcohol no problem; oak and tannins are largely observers of what is going on around them. 95 points James Halliday

The perfume gives you a hint, in a way, with cinnamon and earth-dusted ripe red fruit character and a hint of dried herbs. Ripe and generous as the fruit is, it's a compelling drink, layered in flavour and generous without being overbearing. It finishes with a dusty lick of pucker and a tickle of briny acidity. It's lovely to drink, but structurally is quite loose-knit. Enjoyable. 92 points Winefront.com.au

47% Cabernet Franc, 46% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and how good are Woodlands wines at the moment? They are absolutely killing it. Raspberry, redcurrant, tobacco, aniseed and violet perfume, kiss of choc-vanilla oak along with some grassy varietal Franc notes.Medium bodied, fresh and red fruited – positively leaps through the mouth like those gazelles that go in and about clefts – grainy tannin controls and shapes, then there’s tight firm finish that runs pretty damn long. Mainly though, it’s just so good to drink. Vibrant and delicious.92+ points Winefront.com.au

In California, the best primitivos are made by those who learn how to correctly gauge the ripeness of the fruit, for berries on the same bunch can range from green to black. The Massena team has judged this to perfection, the perfumed bouquet leading into a palate with red fruits to the fore, black fruits on the back-palate, and silky tannins on the finish. 96 points James Halliday
